Locomotion in extinct giant kangaroos: were sthenurines hop-less monsters? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The extinct \u27sthenurine\u27 family of giant Kangaroos, up to three times larger than living Kangaroos, were able to walk on two feet, according to new research. Abstract Sthenurine kangaroos (Marsupialia, Diprotodontia, Macropodoidea) were an extinct

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Dose-dependent new bone formation by extracorporeal shock wave application on the intact femur of rabbits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Whereas various molecular working mechanisms of shock waves have been demonstrated, no study has assessed in detail the influence of varying energy flux densities (EFD) on new bone formation in vivo. Methods: Thirty Chinchilla bastard rabbits

Pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome; lessons obtained from animal studies

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 people globally and is caused by several types of mutations of the TRPS1 gene. Since the first human patient was reported in 1966, typical and atypical pathologies, disease courses, and treatment case ...

Alignment in total knee arthroplasty : what’s in a name? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty is a well-documented phenomenon. Although many factors have been implicated, including modifiable and nonmodifiable patient factors, emphasis over the past decade has been on implant alignment and ...

Protection of the Medial Femoral Condyle Articular Cartilage During Drilling of the Femoral Tunnel Through the Accessory Medial Portal in Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

open access: yesArthroscopy Techniques, 2012
Accurate positioning of the femoral tunnel in the native femoral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) footprint requires drilling through an accessory medial portal (AMP). The AMP is located far medial and at a low level.

Comparing Outcomes Between the Over-the-Top and All-Epiphyseal Techniques for Physeal-Sparing ACL Reconstruction: A Narrative Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A variety of techniques are used for physeal-sparing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, there is no clear consensus on the ideal surgical technique, the frequency of complications, and how to best avoid growth disturbance.

Enhanced Mid‐Flexion Stability in Cruciate‐Sacrificing Total Knee Replacement: Impact of Optimized Implant Designs Investigated Using Musculoskeletal Multibody Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful intervention for relieving pain and improving quality of life. In this context, mid‐flexion instability and paradoxical anterior femoral movement remain challenging. However, the role of implant design in cruciate‐sacrificing (CS) scenarios is unclear.
